Chapter 10

Prep-Parathions for the Christmas Party

          Finally it was Holiday break and every one was running out of the school building saying were free!!!!!  (Sorry couldn't resist saying that)  As Sakura was shoving here books and what not into her locker someone stepped up behind here, and wrapped there arms around here slim waist.   Sakura slammed her locker door shut and walked out of Rhyu's embrace.  "What do you want Rhyu-kun?" Sakura asked in an annoyed voice.  "Let's go away from this place this Christmas just me and….." Before Rhyu could finish that last word Sakura had smacked him.   Rhyu stood there stunned he couldn't have pictured Sakura ever hurting any one. "Well guess there's a first for everything. " Thought Rhyu.   He watched Sakura walk off as he held his cheek with his hand.  "Oh and just one more thing..."  Sakura said as she continued to walk down the hallway. "It's Kinomoto to you."  She said as she exited the building.

------ Outside------

          Sakura saw her friends Syaoran, Tomoyo, Eriol, Meilin, and Damien chatting and sitting on benches waiting for her. Sakura smiled as she watched here friends just chatting away about their Christmas party.   "Konnichiwa minna~sans ano gomen about the delay I was stopped by Rhyu."  Sakura bowed apologizing to her friends.  Every one stared at here shocked.  Sakura~Chan are you all right!? Every one said at once.  "Hai, I smacked him and told him to leave me alone."  Sakura said with a smile.  Syaoran smirked yet Sakura knew that he was glad she was ok.   Syaoran walked up to Sakura and wrapped his arms around her waist and Sakura molded her body against his and let out a sigh of content. "He didn't hurt you did he?" Syaoran asked in a worried voice.  "Iie he didn't stop worrying."  Sakura said as she played with Syaoran's hair.  Syaoran let out a sigh of relief and then they all started to head to Tomoyo's house to get their Christmas party organized.   Up in a tree some one was watching there every move they made. "You will be mine Syaoran and you can count on that. " 

------ Tomoyo's House ------

As Tomoyo arrived at her elegant home or more like mansion she held the door open for her friends.  Once all her friends were inside she entered and closed the door. Tomoyo lead them all to her living- room which has one couch that is white with a striped design and two arm chairs that have a matching design as the couch, and the carpet is a light gray color and the final touches to the room were white curtains that flowed down from the top of the windows and a fire place along with pictures of her and her mother and other relatives hanging on the walls.   Once her friends were seated she offered them something to eat and drink. She had one of her servants bring them tea, and cake, and they happily talked about the plans for their Christmas Party.

          Tomoyo has long black hair; and has fair skin that is white as snow.  She loves to video tape Sakura~chan, Tomoyo has done this ever since Tomoyo found out how to work a video camera.  She makes clothes for Sakura~chan and loves to dress her up as if Sakura were a doll. Tomoyo has amethyst eyes they sparkle with pure happiness.  Tomoyo's dream is to become a fashion designer and make her first movie staring her best friend and cousin Sakura~chan.  Tomoyo is very rich, her mother owns a toy company, the only thing is, Tomoyo doesn't get too see her mother very much because, she is all way's away on business trip's or has to work at the company here in town but when they do see each other they spend as much time as they can. 

          Damien has black hair and blue green eyes and a radient smile that he has every time when he sees Meiling.  He is wearing his school uniform which consists of blue pants, and white long sleeved shirt, with blue stripes on the ends of the sleeves.  He has secretly fallen in love with Meiling and has vowed to become close friends with her the day he arrived at the high school.   He wants to become a martial arts teacher and own his own school. Once he has graduated from college.

          Eriol is a very mysterious person. He is half reincarnation of clow reed; he specializes in magic, only his close friends knows he has magic. These people are Sakura, Tomoyo, Syaoran, and Meiling.  Eriol wants to become a doctor when he graduates college and hopes to marry Tomoyo~chan in the near future.

          Sakura who is all ways in a cheerful mood also knows magic for she has to capture one more clow card.  She is trained in martial arts by her onii~Kun since he suggested it.  The only people who know that she can do magic are Syaoran, Tomoyo, Eriol, Meiling and kero.

          Syaoran he is trained in marital arts his elders had ordered him to and his mother will be passing down her family company the Li Company when Syaoran has become the Leader of the Li clan. Syaoran may seem like a mean person by the way he glares at every one but once you get to know the real him he is a soft loving person as Sakura has found out.

          Last but not least there is Meiling. Meiling is Syaoran's cousin and has also trained in martial arts, by order of the elders. She will also be working under Syaoran when he owns the company.

           (Remember minna~sans they are all in their last year of High school k?) 

------ Back to present------

          The group of friends were laughing and having a good time discussing about the party so far they have the music they want.  Tomoyo was laughing at something Eriol did to Syaoran.  (Ok minna's I'll let you in on what Eriol did. Eriol put a spell on Syaoran cake and had it float around his head then he had the cake on top of Syaoran's head and then he made a swift movement with his hand and the cake fell and now were  at  the part were Damien comes back from the restroom.)

          Damien looked at Syaoran in confusion but once his eyes have taken the sight of Syaoran-kun covered with strawberry cake he doubled over with laughter.   "Wow just from being gone I miss something hilarious!"  Damien said in between laughter.   Once he controlled his laughter because, Syaoran was giving him the death glare while Sakura was telling Syaoran that you have to admit it was funny. 

While she was cleaning him up with a paper towel.  Meiling was still trying to calm herself.  Once the laughter died away they discussed food then when they should open gifts and the games and when people should leave. (Hai they are all friends but there is still a time on were the party should end ne?)  

Once they have finished talking about their party and who they were going to invite Tomoyo's oka-san walked in.   "Konnichiwa Tomoyo~chan, and, Sakura~chan."  Sonomi said with a smile. Then she looked around and noticed Tomoyo had other friends with her Sonomi secretly smiled at this but her true smile came out when she saw Eriol and Sakura.   "Tomoyo why don't you introduce me to some of your friend's ne?"   Tomoyo blushed and nodded her head.   

Tomoyo stood up and then pointed to the boy with messy brown hair and chestnut colored eye's mother this is Syaoran Li.  Sonomi smiled and said "Konnichiwa Syaoran nice to meet you."   Then she pointed a girl with an odango hair style with ruby eye's and wearing her school uniform still. This is Meiling Li Sonomi bowed and, said Konnichiwa.  "This is Damien."  Tomoyo said with one last smile.  "Konnichiwa Damien."  Ms. Sonomi said.  "Well it's good to know that Tomoyo has friends besides Sakura and her boyfriend Eriol."  Ms. Sonomi finished with a smile as Tomoyo blushed and said Oka~san….."   "I guess I should take these plates out of you're way ne?" Sonomi said as Tomoyo and Sakura helped.   Later on it was time for every one to leave and Tomoyo said goodbye and that she would see them later.   Sonomi smiled at her daughter and they sat around the living room and chatted about there day.

------ Syaoran, Sakura, Meiling, Damien and Eriol------

They were all headed home  once they walked at the entrance of the Penguin park Eriol said good bye and Syaoran said that he would walk Sakura home as well as Damien said he would walk Meiling home.  Syaoran thanked Damien for doing that.   So Damien and Meiling kept going strait while Syaoran and Sakura turned right. 

------ Syaoran and Sakura ------

          There walk was silent but Sakura was thinking of starting a conversation. "Ano Syaoran~Kun are you excited about the party?"  Sakura asked.   Syaoran was turning red at this very moment.  "Hai."  Syaoran said so not to make him blush any redder then he all ready is.  Only this didn't go past Sakura she noticed.  "Syaoran you know you don't have to blush but you look kawaii when you do."  Sakura said as it was her turn to blush.  Syaoran smirked when Sakura turned bright red. 

When they arrived at Sakura's front door they faced each other and said goodbye but before Syaoran left he gave Sakura a quick yet patio net kiss on the lips.  Once Syaoran had left Sakura sighed with happiness. Only she didn't know that her onii~Kun had seen the entire thing from outside his window.  Once Sakura was inside her onii~kun came out of the kitchen and said Konnichiwa Kaijou.   Sakura then stepped on his foot and headed to her bedroom to tell kero everything.

------Damien and Meilin------

          Damien and Meiling's walk how ever were anything but quiet. They were arguing over what type of music that they should listen to at the Christmas party.  They were in charge of the music. Syaoran and Sakura were in charge of food, and Eriol and Tomoyo were in charge of decorating.

          "I still say we should have classical!" Damien in a rather irritated voice. "Iie no classical I can't stand that stuff lets have pop and hip-hop music!" Meiling said with a dreamy voice, and maybe a little swing music ne?" Meiling added.  Damien just shook his head no.  "Ii lets have classical music and your music combined." Damien said with a tired smile "Nani!"  Meiling shouted.  Damien covered his ears.  "Meiling do you realize you're voice is loud?"  Damien asked with a smirk.   Meiling just became silent after that "Well I guess we will have to try and see what we can come up with ne?"   Damien said with a sigh. Meiling just nodded her head.

          Once they were quiet they hadn't realized that they were standing right in front of Meiling's and Syaoran apartment.   They were lost in their own thoughts. "Wow I had no clue that Damien liked classical music, he is a very interesting guy and kawaii looking. To."  Meiling thought while she had a hint of red on her cheeks.

          Damien on the other hand was thinking of music and Meiling at the same time.  "Meiling sure has a loud and annoying voice some times but she only uses it when she argues thank kami-sama for that!"  Damien thought with a smile.  "I really do like Meiling but do I like her as a friend or maybe something more?  And what are we going to do with all this music! How will we decide? "Damien thought.  

         

Meiling had snapped out of her thoughts realizing that she was standing outside her home.    "Ano Damien".  She said as she tapped him on the shoulders.   At first he didn't respond but then when Meiling used Sakura's strategy which is stepping on her onii~kun's toe Meiling decided to try it to see if it worked.  "Ah I should try that more often when Damien goes into his own little world ne? " Meiling thought with a smirk.   "Oh gomen." Meiling said. "Not really though. " Meiling thought with a smirk.   "Well I'm home and thank you for walking me home."  Meiling said in a soft angelic voice. 

Damien smiled "Ah I think I like this side of Meiling better he thought. "   Damien held a secret smile just for her.  Just then they felt each other being pulled closer and closer as if they were about to kiss.  "EHEM" That noise had startled them out of their trans. "Ano Syaoran it's not what you think!" Meiling said as she backed away waving her hands.  Damien just nodded and put his hands in his pockets.  "Syaoran I would never hurt your cousin."  Then after that said he walked off.

          "Syaoran what did you do that for!" Meiling shouted.  Syaoran just smirked. "Just trying to protect my cousin he said with a chuckle as he entered their apartment, both fighting all the way. 

------Else were ------

          "So the little group of friends are planning a Christmas party ne?"   Stephanie said.  "Hai it looks that way."  Said Rhyu.  "I say we crash the party."  Stephanie said. "Hmmm that actually sounds like a good plan. "We can attack them then."  They both started to let go an evil laugh that penetrated thought their apartment building.

 A couple day's have passed and Meiling and Damien had finally agreed to use Hip-hop and classical music together and they started gathering CD's from their houses and got together to listen to which CD sounds the best

------ Grocery store ------

          Syaoran and Sakura have been preparing the food and going shopping for ingredients.  They were at the town's grocery store looking for what they needed while Syaoran was reading off the very long list.  "Sugar, spices, noodles, etc."  Syaoran said with laughter.   (Odd ne? I didn't know that Syaoran could laugh.)  Sakura playfully whacked him with the bread and then put it in the cart. 

------Syaoran's apartment------

Once they had gotten everything they needed to they went to Syaoran's apartment to start cooking.  They had started on the main courses first; the noodles, shrimp, sandwiches, and so on then they made the sweets, cakes, cookies, and pies.  In the midst of making the pies they got into a flour fight. By the time they were done they were both covered with white powder and had to clean up and start cooking again.

 ------ At Tomoyo's House ------

          Sonomi, Tomoyo and Eriol (Eriol's Tomoyo's boyfriend) were setting up the Christmas tree. "There just a little more to the left just a little more that's it."  Sonomi was directing Eriol.  Then Eriol sat the tree down so that he could rest. Then Sonomi startled him by saying PERFECT! Eriol toppled over and Tomoyo let out a laugh.  "Ano Tomoyo I don't see what's so funny Eriol said with half a smile as he rubbed his head since he hit it against the wall. "Oh hai there is!" Tomoyo and Sonomi said with laughter.

Then Eriol noticed that a branch was slightly poking into his mouth and he quickly spit it out and began to get up and once he did he started tickling Tomoyo.  Once there little fun ended well sort of they were telling jokes now.  They started decorating the house since the party was tomorrow.  They went up to the attic to get decorations down for the tree and house.  

It had taken hours for them to get done but they managed to do it just in time before the next day. "Eriol why don't you stay in our guest bedroom for the night ne?" It's awfully late and I would hate to see anything bad to happen to you." Sonomi said sincerely.   "Thank you Ms. Daijabu." SO they all said good night and went to there own respected rooms.  "Tomoyo take Eriol to the guest room."  Her mother said.  "Hai mother Tomoyo said as she tried to stifle a yawn.   Before Eriol and Tomoyo headed upstairs they looked at all the hard work they had done. 

The tree sparkled with silver tensile, white lights, and wonderful decorations, the other rooms had been specked with little ornaments here and there with lights and chandeliers for each room.  Then in the ball room there was a second tree, it was white, with candles that were going to be lit for tomorrow night. And with silver tensile, and to the back wall was a table were the food would go and the drinks.  Streamers and green, red, silver and golden ribbons with a chandelier hanging in the center of the ceiling.

------ Damien and Meiling ------

          They had spent the entire day listening to classical, jazz, swing, and Hip-hop.  Damien had grown to love Meiling's music with in just one day.  Meiling has some what started to enjoy the peaceful melody of classical music.  "There that should do it."  Damien said with a yawn.  He stretched his limbs this way and that and stopped.  Meiling stiffened a yawn she learned that showing that you were tried was a weakness.  Damien noticed this and asked.  "Meiling why don't you go call your cousin and let him know that you will be staying in a guest room here at my house I'm sure my parent's wont mind."  Meiling nodded she was too tired to argue with this and settled for his kind offer.
